“Our greatest fear in life should not be failure. Our greatest fear in life should be succeeding in things that don’t matter.” – Francis Chan
One of life’s greatest tragedies: we tend to think that things will be different if we achieve more, win more, or make more money. But if those things have never changed us before, even if we win the world… would it change us today? Like thirsty people guzzling salt water, it’s a never-ending cycle that does not lead to fulfillment.
Yet we can work tirelessly for that next finish line, putting all of eggs in that basket, wishing, hoping, and working tirelessly to get there. One of our greatest fears, as written in the quote above, is to get there, and to realize… we didn’t climb the right ladder. It didn’t bring us to where we wanted to be. How we wanted to feel.
It always boils down to this – the quality of our relationships, the positive influence we impart on others, and who we become in the process. Hustle is crucial, but placing first things first is absolutely vital. Which ladder are we climbing today?

STIMULUS
DESCRIPTION
These Snatch Waves also take place on a running clock
Every minute starting at 8:00, you’ll complete 1 Squat Snatch
We are building on last week’s percentages
“Waves” mean that the percentages will increase for 3 sets, then slightly decrease before climbing even higher
Wave loadings like this are designed to excite your motor neurons, which can help enhance force production despite muscular fatigue
Essentially – they help you move heavy loads even when you’re tired
These percentages are also based on your 1RM Squat Snatch

STIMULUS
DESCRIPTION
This workout consists of 4 short and fast intervals
The first three intervals last for 2 minutes, with the final lasting 3 minutes
There is 2 minutes of rest between intervals
After completing the double unders and lateral dumbbell burpees, you’ll complete as many Devil’s Press as your can with the remaining time
Your workout will continue until you have finished 50 total Devil’s Press
As a recap, the workout flows as follows:
AMRAP 2
Rest 2 Minutes
AMRAP 2
Rest 2 Minutes
AMRAP 2
Rest 2 Minutes
AMRAP 3
Record the total time (including rest) it takes to complete the 50 reps
If you do not finish the Devil’s Press after the final AMRAP 3 is over, write your score as 15:00 plus :01 per missed rep
DEVIL’S PRESS
This movement is a combination of a dumbbell burpee and a double dumbbell snatch
The chest should make contact with the floor on each rep
Swing the bells overhead without pausing at the shoulders
Choose a moderate weight that allows you to complete 10+ reps within each interval

DOUBLE UNDERS & LATERAL DUMBBELL BURPEES
These two stations combined are designed to take under 45 seconds to complete, giving you plenty of time to accumulate dumbbell reps
Adjust numbers or variations as needed to accomplish this
You can jump up or step up out of the burpee
The feet should pass over the handle of the dumbbell
There is no need to stand to full extension when jumping over the handle
STRATEGY
GENERAL
With short intervals and rest built in, look to move with a purpose through each round
The numbers on the jump rope and burpees are pretty small, allowing you to turn the brain off a bit and focus on speed
Once you get to the Devil’s Press, look to settle into a strong rhythm
It can be helpful to mark a spot on the floor with tape or chalk for your dumbbells
This allows you to easily find the ideal spot for them when going into the next rep

Between each set of strict ring dips, you’ll complete a short :10 second L-Sit on parallettes
Your score today is total number of strict ring dips completed at the end of 6 minutes
This is a high interference piece that will tax your upper body lockout, so break up the strict ring dips as needed
RING DIPS
If you have 15+ unbroken strict ring dips, we recommend competing this piece as written
If you’re not quite there, you can reduce reps (climb by 1 each round) or choose another variation from “subs”
The range of motion here is:
Elbows fully locked at the top
Shoulder below the elbow in the bottom
L-SIT
Choose a time or a variation that allows you to complete this station unbroken
